The work perfomed under the contract will extend the lifespan of the Kongsberg-supplied anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare systems based on its combat management system architecture and integrated with the Aegis combat system. The company has conducted update and maintenance activities regularly since the class was introduced.

Eirik Lie, acting president at Kongsberg Defence Systems said: 'Kongsberg is pleased to be part of the upgrade programme extending the lifetime of the systems on board the Fridtjof Nansen class.’
